Adios...

[Gone2Three]

Well folks, I've been struggling with my decision to part with my beloved....and no not my lovely wife :laugh: my beloved Freewheeler...Fireball

It was a difficult decision, and one that was not made easily. But sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to provide for the people you love.

I will cherish my last long ride with Michele, ironically her first and last long trip on the trike. I knew that this was coming but didn't want to admit that it was happening. I had many a great time on this trike, more so than I thought when switching from 2 wheels. I'm hopeful that one day in the future, I will be able to find my way back to the wonderful life on three.

This guy's handle should now read Gone2...Zero

I will try and keep in touch with all of you guys. As I've said before we're all family here that's why I'm sharing my sorrow with everyone here... okay, I'm not going to cry...dammit

(Sadface)

Good luck to you, Randall.ThumbUp

The time period right after you sell it off can be tough, depending how much you rode it over the years.

Hopefully you stop back here from time to time. We won't hurt you for ditching your trike...

 

[1dn5up]

WOW ! That hit me like a ton of bricks :gah:

 

[David357]

That's a shocker Randall.:shok:epressed:

But please continue to stay connected with us, your extended Trike Talk Family.

[LadyonaMission]

My heart is pounding and my head is spinning thinking about how hard this must be for you.

Please stay in touch. I cannot imagine not having you, Michele and Fireball in my life. I have already been thinking about how much fun Kerrville will be next year with you and Michele leading a ride.

 

[Jack Klarich]

I cannot imagine the sacrifice you are making

Randall...

You mentioned this to me briefly at Kerrville. I was SO hoping that it would not come to pass. You are a true, blue hero for your family. Please chime in from time to time. Support, prayers and laughs are what we hope to continue to share with you.

Take care, , , ‘cuz’ !

 

[bikerbillone]

A very tough decision to be sure, there will come a time when I, we, all, will face the same decision, and with a heavy heart we see someone riding off on our 3 wheels. Unsettling thoughts, maybe the Trike Gods will permit you to return.

Bill

 

[Sunman]

Wow! I hate to hear this! I know this was a tough decision but best of luck in the future. Hopefully you will be back on a trike sometime down the road. Glad I got to ride with you again in Kerrville. Since my wife passed away I have thought about giving it up since it just isn't the same without her on the back but for now I think I will continue to ride. It is my stress relief.

Don't be a stranger to the forum.

Sunman

 

[bikerbillone]

Sunman, do not be hasty in your decision, I had the same thought when my wife passed, but did not give up riding. As you mentioned, it's great therapy no matter what.

 

[TGCarol]

I’m so sorry Randall. Please keep in touch. So sad for you.

 

[1dn5up]

Sunman, do not be hasty in your decision, I had the same thought when my wife passed, but did not give up riding. As you mentioned, it's great therapy no matter what.

Sunman, Bill , they never leave. When you ride they ride as your guardian angels .

I know , as both my son and wife ride with me every time with guidance :angel16::angel16:

Thanks Frank for these words of wisdom.... I find myself still glancing in my rear-view mirror, watching for Jim. He always insisted I ride lead.

 

[MDO]

Sorry to hear that & for you to give up what you love, is a hard decision.

Please be safe & stay in touch with the forum.

 

[Gone2Three]

Thank you everyone for your kind and inspiring words. I consider you all an extended part of my family and promise to remain active in some way with this fine group of folks....

God bless, and I'll be seeing you around here soon :wave4:

Ps...Michele sends her love :bye:

 

[Rollin Thunder]

WOW!!!

Nothing like a slap in the face 1st thing in the morning Randall :xzqxz:.

I don't know WHY you came to this decision but you do what you think is right for you and your family.

I understand some of that cause I went thru it.

When we moved to MINN from Mi and I left long time riding friends it wasn't an easy thing to do.

I too sold my Hot Rod Bagger soon after we moved there.

It wasn't the same thing any more and it was going to take a while to try and fit in again with new people.

I think it was about 5 yrs I went with out a bike.

But every time a heard a set of pipes go by I'd bounce up to look.

But we found our way back .

Your doing what YOU think is right for you and your family. NO REGRETS !

Just pop in here when you can and lets us know how your doing.

Going to miss you on here...........................Rick

 

[LadyonaMission]

Thanks Frank for these words of wisdom.... I find myself still glancing in my rear-view mirror, watching for Jim. He always insisted I ride lead.

I felt lost at first because Bill always planned the rides and I followed him.

 

[graygoat]

Randall, we have not met & I don't know your situation, but I do wish the very best for you and your family.

 

[Larry Sobczak]

Sorry to hear that you are giving up your trike.

We all do what we have to at various times in our life, hopefully some time in the future you will be riding again.

Wendy and I enjoyed riding and talking with you and Michele.

Stay connected.

 

[Marc H]

I went through a similar situation 6 or so years ago.I had a heavily modified 2 wheeler and sold everything off it putting it back to stock.I was barely able to keep the bike.Sometimes we go through things to prepare us for better down the road.Forums kept me going then and we enjoy having you around so hang with us till you get through this.

 

[Gone2Three]

We both appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone. I promise to get on here and poke around every so often...wouldn't want my Gold club membership to go to waste :laugh:

 

[paws]

Oh yeah!

You’ll be back - breathing in sunshine and bugs!

You’ve just hit a speed bump that has slowed you down for a few...

Just as we think we’ve got a plan - the snow globe gets all shook up and as it settles we begin to figure out the new plan and go on down the road.

Happens to all of us as we roll along.

Don’t forget.... there are plenty of gently pre-owned vehicles out there that will be aching to get on the road.

New is nice, new is macho, new is exciting. New is a LOT of money!
